Aerial

Any shot taken from high above, usually by drone or helicopter.

Narrative function

Scale, place, freedom.

How it works

Any shot taken from high above, usually by drone or helicopter.

In AI video, the model only knows what you tell it. Name the move in plain camera language and describe what the frame should contain at the start and at the end.

When to use it

Destination campaigns: a model on a cliff, a rooftop or a beach.

Compared with similar shots

FPV Drone: A fast, agile first-person drone flight that dives, weaves and rushes through spaces.

Prompt it

Aerial: aerial drone shot high above the location, smooth flight. Subject: a model in a tailored camel coat on a quiet city street at golden hour. Keep the face, outfit and setting consistent, realistic fabric movement, cinematic lighting, 24fps film look.

Works in Higgsfield, Kling, Runway and Luma. Swap the subject for your own.

What usually goes wrong

People get tiny and lose detail. Accept that or follow with a close-up.
